I’m considering applying to Boston College and I need some financial assistance. Does anyone know of scholarships specific to Boston College, or any general scholarships that could help with tuition there?
Boston College offers a variety of scholarships to incoming students. One of the most notable is the Presidential Scholars Program, which covers full tuition. This is a highly competitive program based on academic excellence, leadership, and service.
Boston College also offers merit-based scholarships through specific departments, such as the Gabelli Presidential Scholars Program for students in the Carroll School of Management. Be sure to check the website or reach out to the Financial Aid Office for specifics on these programs as the selection process may vary.
As for external scholarships, you can use a scholarship search engine like Appily to search for scholarships that you may be eligible for. When using these tools, try to filter your search to include scholarships for students interested in your intended major or career path, your demographic characteristics, and other unique attributes you possess.
Lastly, remember to complete the FAFSA as early as possible to be considered for federal aid as well as additional need-based aid that Boston College may offer. Make sure to use Boston College's school code (002128) when completing the FAFSA to ensure that they receive your information.
